Analysis for Additive and Subtractive Synthesis

Additive and Subtractive Analysis

  • The Fourier Transform Can be Used to
    Analyze Sounds for Additive Resynthesis

  • Techniques such as Linear Predictive Coding (LPC)
    can decompose sound into Filter (Spectral Shape)
    and Source (What's Left Over)

  • Sound Examples:

    Voice
    Marimba
    Metal Sounds
    Wood Sounds
